New submission from Marc Schlaich <marc.schlaich at googlemail.com>:
Creating a venv from the python.exe from another venv does not work since 3.7.2 on Windows. This is probably related to the change
bpo-34977: venv on Windows will now use a python.exe redirector rather than copying the actual binaries from the base environment.
For example running
c:\users\$USER\.local\pipx\venvs\pipx-app\scripts\python.exe -m venv C:\Users\$USER\.local\pipx\venvs\tox
C:\Users\$USER\.local\pipx\venvs\tox\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip
results in pip installing to venvs\pipx-app and not in venvs\tox.
Downstream bugreport in pipx is https://github.com/pipxproject/pipx-app/issues/81.
